Les messages de réaffectation destinés aux utilisateurs possédant le même facteur de diffusion (SF), et donc le même débit binaire de service (kR) sont sensiblement envoyés simultanément, de manière à réduire au minimum le temps nécessaire à la mise en oeuvre de l'opération de réaffectation.
Patent CA-2471588-A1 (CA)
Title: Valve
Inventor: SIMONSSON PER
IPC: F01L1/46
Filed: 2002-12-30
Abstract: The invention is related to an arrangement that is designed to govern inlet and outlet gas mixtures and is used mainly in four stroke combustion engines.  Already existing designees is of a nature that they limit the performance of the four-stroke engine mainly as a result of the weight and its flow-technical design. The invention resolve this problem mainly as a result of that the new valve is lighter and has a better flow-technical design. This is a result of that the new valve design allows both the inlet and outlet gas mixtures to flow inside and through the valve body (find drawing A2) thus as a result the valve design is lighter and has an higher efficiency due to the flow-technical design that allows for that no valve shaft is put in the middle of the flow path. The invention is mainly used in the transportation industry.
